CHRIS HERO'S FINAL INDEPENDENT APPEARANCES, WHY ZSR ISN'T IN WWE UK CHAMPIONSHIP, EVOLVE ON RUMBLE WEEKEND AND MORE

With Chris Hero returning to WWE, his final independent appearances will be for EVOLVE over Royal Rumble weekend in San Antonio on 1/27 where Hero will pick his own opponent and 1/28, where he faces Zack Sabre Jr.

For those who have asked why Zack Sabre Jr. isn't in the WWE UK championship or the Cruiserweight division, it comes down to this - Sabre turned down WWE when they offered him a deal back during the CWC tournament.

WWN will launch their Style Battle promotion tomorrow in Ybor City, Florida featuring a one night tournament featuring:

*Darby Allin vs. Dave Crist

*Dezmond Xavier vs. Sammy Guevara

*Fred Yehi vs. Anthony Henry

*AR Fox vs. Austin Theory

On Saturday, WWN will debut the revamped FIP promotion, which will be booked by Gabe Sapolsky and be an "adults only" style promotion.

The 1/27 EVOLVE 76 in San Antonio will feature Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ethan Page and DUSTIN vs. Jason Kincaid.

Laredo Kid will debut on 1/28 at EVOLVE 77.
